SUBJECT:
FIRST QUARTER BUDGET REPORT
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept this report and direct the County Administrator to continue to monitor the
budget and implement corrective plans, where necessary.
2. Direct the County Administrator to closely monitor the major revenues, which have
been prerviously identified in balancing the budget, including property taxes,
interest earnings, Title IV-A and ME federal Social Services funds, Medi-Cal
reimbursements, and sales taxes for realignment and public safety programs.
3. Recognize that the current budget includes approximately $10 million in revenues
and expenditure reductions all or a portion of which may not reoccur next fiscal
year.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1984, the County Administrator's Office has prepared quarterly reports which
analyze the status of the budget and highlights the budget units which deviate from the
budget plan in terms of expenditures and revenues. Actions which are necessary to
ensure a healthy budget by the end of the year are recommended as part of the
quarterly reporting process. Other items which have major fiscal impacts are also
reviewed as part of this periodic report.
General County Revenues
General County revenues have been significantly reduced by the state raid of property
taxes over the last two fiscal years. In fiscal year 1991-92, the County received $246
million in General County revenue while this fiscal year a total of $170 million is
budgeted.

It is too early to determine the overall status of revenues relative to the budget plan.
Very limited information is available at this time for such major revenues as property
taxes and interest earnings. However, there are some early warning signs with these
two revenue sources. Interest earnings could be as much as 25% below the budget
target because of the continuing record low yields on required investments, despite the
fact that this revenue is budgeted below the 1992-93 fiscal year. In the property tax
area, State assessments on privately owned public utility companies was reduced by 8%,
or a $620,000 loss to the County. In the second quarter report, property tax losses to
the schools, redevelopment agencies and no and low cities will be known, as well as
some indications of the impact of requests for reassessments.
Most revenues received on a monthly basis are above or at targeted levels. These
revenues include sales taxes, vehicle registration fees, transient occupancy taxes, and
property transfer taxes.
Social Service
The Social Service Department's revenues are primarily driven by state actions. As
noted in the October report, the Child Welfare Services (CWS) allocation for fiscal year
1993-1994 is approximately $290,000 less than the previous year's allocation despite an
authorized increase in FTE. The department believes it will be able to make up for this
shortfall through strict expenditure control and higher than budgeted participation levels
in Title IV-E (federal) funding. On the Personal Care Services Program (PCSP), the
State has informed the counties that the federal government has postponed elimination
of funding eligibility for nurses this fiscal year to October 1, 1994 and until a statewide
plan is submitted and approved by the federal government. At this time, it appears that
Contra Costa County may break even on the PCSP program. No new information is
available on the Title IV-A Emergency Assistance Program. Preliminary programmatic
instructions are still incompatible with fiscal instructions. Consequently, it is still not
possible to determine if administrative costs will be offset in toto by program savings.
The department and Administrator's Office will continue to closely monitor revenues and
to report to the Board as appropriate.
Health Services
The Health Services Department aggressively budgeted in excess of $11 million of
revenues anticipated but not confirmed as of adoption of the County budget. At this
time, there are still uncertainties in some revenue categories, including the SB910 Medi-
Cal reimbursement and the Mental Health Rehabilitation Option. Known variances in
revenues include: SLIAG - approximately $200,000 less revenue than anticipated;
Realignment - approximately $500,000 more revenue than anticipated; and SB855 -
approximately $2.2 million more revenue than anticipated. In addition, it is doubtful that
the Medical Assistance Commission will hold another round of SB1255 Voluntary
Contributions (budgeted at$2.0 million for the 1993-94 fiscal year). Both the Department
and the County Administrator are closely monitoring revenue and will report to the Board
as appropriate.
Sheriff-Coroner
The Sheriff-Coroner Agency is well within acceptable expenditure levels for the first
quarter of fiscal year 1993-94. In Patrol and Operations, gross expenditures were
approximately 24% and the Detention division's gross expenditures were 23%. The
Coroner division experienced 25% gross expenditures for the reporting period and 32%
revenue generation. Expenditures for the Agency are expected to stay within budget.
Actual revenues received for the first quarter of fiscal year 1993-94 were $1,141,282 in
patrol and $173,054 in detention, 5% and 2% of budget respectfully. Sales-Tax Public
Protection revenues was budgeted in the Sheriff-Coroner Agency in the amount of
$15,777,536 ($48,835,420 in Patrol and $6,942,116 in Detention). Although sales tax
-3-
has been received, no monies have been journaled, as yet, to the Sheriff-Coroner.
Contract City revenues, which historically lag, generate 37% of the Sheriffs $20,958,865
budgeted for the Patrol division. These revenues, which are currently at 7% of budget,
will be received by year end. A much more detailed analysis will be possible after the
next quarter, once federal and state revenues begin to show-up on the finance runs.
Probation Department
First quarter figures for the Probation Department indicate that expenditures are on
target. Revenues appear to be under-realized because of the lag time between the
claiming and receipt of intergovernmental revenues, which represent most of the
department's income. A first quarter claim was submitted for the new Title IV-A
Emergency Assistance Program and required information was provided to the State for
the AB799 Ranch Subsidy. These revenues are expected to be received this fiscal year.
The average daily population (ADP) at Juvenile Hall during the first quarter was 118.8,
a 6% increase over the first quarter population last year. The October 1993 ADP of 125
indicates a continuing trend of increasing population. First quarter bookings at the Hall
of 526, however, represent a 7% decrease in booking from last year indicating fewer
releases from the Hall and more serious offenders being detained at the Hall. The ADP
exceeded the population cap of 130 on one occasion during the first quarter, but was
corrected without the need to make a forced release. A series of discussions among the
Probation Department, Juvenile Court, County Administrator and local police agencies
have taken place to explore measures which might be taken to increase flexibility for
police agencies and meet the needs of the Court within the Probation Department's
existing resources.
Since July, the Probation Department has been aggressively pursuing alternatives to
private placements in a formal program in cooperation with the Social Service
Department. As a result of the program, the number of cases in placement during the
first quarter was 142, a near 30% decrease as compared to last year. Savings in
placement costs accrue to the Social Service Department and the feasibility of utilizing
these savings to improve population control at Juvenile Hall is currently being explored.
The fast-track probation report program begun January 1, 1993 continues to be
successful with the number of reports completed during the first quarter at 150% higher
than last year. Through a grant from the County's Productivity Investment Fund, the
department will also be implementing an electronic probation report program sometime
in 1994, intended to improve efficiency between the department and the Courts and
reduce the amount of paper used in making the reports.
Budget Unit Reports
Attachment A contains a discussion of those budgets which deviated in expenditures or
revenues more than 10% from a straight line projection. Many of the deviations from the
budget plan were caused by delays in transferring revenues or charging expenditures
among the Department and between the County and State and Federal governments.
These items are noted in the attachment, but are not expected to materially affect the
budget.

ATTACHMENT A
GENERAL FUND
1. BUDGET UNIT 0001 - BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 1,174,407 Percent Expended 40%

early in the fiscal year. Also charges for services to non-General Fund sources provided
have not yet been posted to this budget unit.
REVENUES: Budgeted $ 28,148 Percent Received 88%
Revenues donated for the Richmond Municipal Advisory Council were received, but not

districts, code enforcement program, and various overhead charges are made on a
quarterly basis. Revenues have not been posted for the first quarter.
4. BUDGET UNIT 0016 - ASSESSOR
REVENUES: Budgeted $ 514,379 Percent Received 40%
Revenues received to date are high due to the sale of unanticipated property characteristic
information tapes.

Revenues are lagging because charges for services provided have not been collected.
9. BUDGET UNIT 0043 - ELECTIONS
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 2,851,020 Percent Expended 14%
The Elections Division will be conducting two major elections, the November election and
the June Primary, and will also conduct smaller special elections on request throughout the
year. Since election costs are not incurred evenly each quarter, a straightline budget
projection is not a reliable forecasting tool for this service. Based upon the expected
activity for the first quarter, expenditures are in line with the budget plan.
REVENUES: Budgeted $ 899,000 Percent Received 13%
Although revenues appear to be under-realized in the first quarter, they have actually been
received at anticipated levels for this point in the election cycle.
10. BUDGET UNIT 0120 - SANS CRAINTE DRAINAGE SYSTEM
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 91,695 Percent Expended 0
Activity levels are very low in this budget unit due to few or no drainage problems in this
region.
REVENUES: Budgeted $ 9,000 Percent Received 9%
Revenue level depends on development activity in the area which is slow at this time.
There are no expected difficulties with this budget because revenues exceed expenditures.
11. BUDGET UNIT 0150 - INSURANCE
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 6,500,872 Percent Expended 6%
The public liability premiums are included in ,this budget which represents $4.8 million of
the total expenditures. The balance, $1.7 million is Risk Management's budget which is
24% expended. The public liability premiums will not be paid until the third quarter,
therefore expenditures appear low at this time.

REVENUES: Budgeted .$11,899,656 Percent Received 7%
Trial Court funding revenue has not yet been credited to this budget nor are adjustments

EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 107,663 Percent Expended 3%
Restricted funds accumulate in this budget unit each year to finance the automation and
maintenance of the County Clerk's record keeping system. Depending on improvements
to the system scheduled each year, it is not unusual for expenditures to fluctuate each
quarter, or for fund balances to occur at the end of the fiscal year.
17. BUDGET UNIT 0239 - CRIMINAL GRAND JURY
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 69,411 Percent Expended 53%
Expenditures are expected to be over budget by year-end. However, the Superior Court
is now beginning the process of charging for court reports, which should reduce the net
County cost of this budget unit.
18. BUDGET UNIT 0240 - COUNTY CLERK
REVENUES: Budgeted $ 2,514,390 Percent Received 12%
Budget adjustments made on October 5, 1993 are not reflected in the first quarter figures,

30. BUDGET UNIT 0357 - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 1,674,053 Percent Expended 10%

transfers offsetting expenditures are also creating the unusually low expenditure levels.
REVENUES: Budgeted $ 1,115,100 Percent Received 10%

State preschool programs.
37. BUDGET UNIT 0590 - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 806,422 Percent Expended 40%

the year. The net result will bring actual revenues in line with the budget by the end of the
year.
21. BUDGET UNIT 0676 - ROAD ADMINISTRATION/PLANNING
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 2,179,871 Percent Expended 37%
Expenditures generally run high at the end of the year when miscellaneous annual charges
are assessed, such as Liability and County Counsel. Also, actual expenditures tend to lag
behind the budget/finance system by a month.
REVENUES: Budgeted $ 1,511,160 Percent Received 0
Revenues are low due to lag between time when services are performed and
reimbursement from state and federal sources, as well as when charges are made to AOB
funds and cities. Charges are made on a quarterly basis with the largest portion of
revenue being received in the last quarter.
22. BUDGET UNIT 0696 - PLEASANT HILL BART
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 633,185 Percent Expended 0
Expenditures appear out of line with the budget due to $64,000 of expenses not yet posted
and an accounting technicality. The Auditor-Controller's Office appropriated almost
$500,000 of fiscal year 1992-93 fund balance to the current year's budget appropriations
which makes actual expenditures appear low.
23. BUDGET UNIT 0841 - AIRPORT OPERATIONS
EXPENDITURES: Budgeted $ 3,166,837 Percent Expended 14%
Approximately one-third of this budget unit's revenues are Caltrans loans which have not
yet been received. The state's first disbursement will occur in early 1994 and the
remainder is anticipated to arrive near the end of the County's fiscal year.
REVENUES: Budgeted $10,975,930 Percent Received 0
The capital projects and the offsetting Federal Aviation Agency grants budgeted in this unit
do not follow a predictable pattern. The department expects to receive reimbursement in
the amount of $1.3 million within the month for work performed last fiscal year. Billing the
federal government for current expenditures will not occur until the current project is
complete. The department anticipates no problems and only budgets those revenues it has
received assurances of obtaining.
